rather than look at a month, we ought to look at a trend. we had 132.4 million jobs reported in january. nonfarm payroll. same numbers december 2000 when clinton was president and we were hanging by our chads. when you have an economy that goes 12 years, two business cycles that has not generated over time one net job, that's an economy that's sick, and we need to look at the fundamental foundation of this and the sickness that underlies and not whether we're blipping up a little bit or by quarter. i think we're going to hit a brick wall in december. there's a freight rain coming down the track. it's called $7 trillion worth of deaf sim impact when all the tax cuts and the tax holiday and the dot fix and all the rest of it expires. you're going to have -- >> plus the payroll tax cuts. >> all the tax credits and all the business benis and 100% depreciation, and the 1.2 trillion automatic sec quester. when the congress is faced with that in a lame-duck session, it will be paralyzed, frozen. >> that's absolutely right. there is a huge risk at t

because at some level, you know, compared with europe, we're doing okay. we're growing at about 2%. and we still have no housing recovery, which presumably there will be at some point in a demographically vibrant country. so is the situation as dire as, you know you write about? >> well, there's not as bad as is one of the issues that comes up. they say not as bad as the great depression, not as bad as europe, but it's pretty terrible. the thing i like to focus on is long-term unemployment. we've got around 4 million people out of work for more than a year. that's devastating. that's an ongoing process of enormous devastation to families. it also means probably damage to our long-run future because people who have been out of the work force that long find it hard ever to re-enter. young people coming out into a high unemployment environment may never get properly staed on their careers. so we're doing a lot of ongoing damage to say, well, you know, we're not spain, we're not greece. and we're not falling off the cliff. this is good, but it doesn't stop the fact that this is, in fact
